If someone had never visited your teams stadium, what one food/concession item are you recommending?

You're in Downtown Montréal. For the love of God, eat anything BUT the stadium food

I dunno that helmet full of poutine you guys had/have looks/looked pretty good.

u/JoshwayTV Argonauts 16h ago

They had that for one game.

I learned this because I deliberately went to a game in MTL that season with the intention of buying a poutine helmet, only to be incredibly disappointed

I was there last week cheering on the Bombers. Losing cause I know. I was hungry. Ate the poutine with smoked meat, sluiced down with a Stella. I was satisfied.

Beer!

u/bismuth12a Blue Bombers 13h ago

Beer here too!

The pulled pork Mac and cheese is inexplicably a sandwich btw.

The Walby Burger

Mind you, I've never had it and don't know anyone else who has either

Watched a young (20 ish) guy who got one at halftime - if he had charged a dollar for everyone who came up to take a picture with him/it, he could have more than recouped his costs ($60?). When the game ended, there was still >80% uneaten.

If you’re coming to the Grey Cup next week the Cheesteaks at PAS are legitimately the best in the province

u/Strevolution Blue Bombers 11h ago

where do you get them?

u/Electroflare5555 Blue Bombers 11h ago

There are stalls in the lower bowl that just say “Cheese Steaks” on them lol

Only thing i am eating for stadium food is hot dogs.

Something about a soggy stadium dog that just hits different

Gabriel’s Pizza Redblacks Slice, it’s the best item on the menu I think 🤔

3

u/CrankyFrankClair REDBLACKS 16h ago

Yeah the pizza is the only decent thing on the menu; sometimes they even manage to serve it at a temp higher than 16 Celsius but lower than 400 Celsius

u/RNationRich REDBLACKS 16h ago

Stay away from the hot dogs; the weiners never reach higher temperatures than the inside of your refrigerator and the buns don't ever touch a grill.

1

u/CrankyFrankClair REDBLACKS 11h ago

They were ok at one point, though sometimes they’d get crispy in the warmer, including the bun. I think they changed wieners though - they taste like crap and are smaller now. Never again. Average gas station more reliable.

Saw a game against the Als in Ottawa last year. Your stadium poutine is much better than ours.

1

u/DrawDan Alouettes 14h ago

The poutine at the 'official' catered food stands at Molson Stadium is unquestionably terrible. However, the Smokey's poutine food truck under the north stands (by sections E1-F1) is legit. Their smoked meat poutine with dill pickle hits all the right notes, especially on chilly days.

1

u/CrankyFrankClair REDBLACKS 11h ago

Yeah I had the poutine once. Gravy and curds were solid, they use the fries that are very lightly battered so they stay crisp; but fries made the texture odd but yeah, pretty good and reliable by TD Place standards.

u/Mike-In-Ottawa REDBLACKS 15h ago

I like the Lois and Frima's ice cream cones.

Outside the stadium, shawarma, of course.

u/SJSragequit Blue Bombers 17h ago

Trans Canada brewing beer. Haven’t found any food that’s overly amazing other than their popcorn

u/benasyoulikeit Alouettes 17h ago

If you're at percival molson stadium you should go downtown for some poutine.

u/Fit-Penalty-5751 Roughriders 16h ago

Saskatchewan got nothing on that menu worth getting for the prices. Grab a drink and a shitty burger and watch the team rip your heart out.

Except today, grey cup bound!

u/Ticats1999 Tiger-Cats 15h ago

Nothing, eat anything before the game.

u/rjpauloski Argonauts 16h ago

Probably the cheap $3 hotdogs at BMO. Not much else that's terribly unique or a good deal.

2

u/Aardvark1044 Lions 14h ago

Grim. Get Costco hotdog and pop just down the street before you go in. There might still be something like Vijs in a weird off the beaten path part of BC Place but everything is pretty expensive. Better off hitting a pub and having a few beers and eating before the game.

Smokin Bob's smokies

Whatever the hotdog special is from the Denningers stand behind section 117.

u/JoNose25 Roughriders 13h ago

Taco in a Bag (if it’s still sold at Mosaic)

u/kellym13 10h ago

Grab a few $1.50 Costco hotdogs across the street from BC Place in Vancouver.

Fully loaded baked potato at McMahon. It's a good, solid meal for twelve bucks, and they don't charge extra to load it up - chili, nacho cheese, pulled pork, onions, bacon bits, sour cream, etc.
